• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2015 RT with Tailgunner Widow Maker Exhaust

All - I replaced my stock exhaust with a Tailgunner Widow Maker. I just wanted a different sound. Let me know what you think.

 
I had the same Tailgunner on my 2014 RT and the barrels spun at idle as soon as I started it up.Not sure why yours are not :dontknow:
 
Since yours is still brand-new; it might take a few miles to burn off whatever is keeping it from spinning freely. ;)
Please let us know how it affects the performance of the bike! :thumbup:
 
Nice !!

does have a bit of a different sound must be because its tucked under the side storage compartment. But I like to hear the engine and it sounds great...congrats..:2thumbs:
 
Sounds great! I'd like a more throaty sound too. But with rotation comes wear. What happens when it stops spinning?

So I read the cleaning instructions and it said to ensure a smooth rotation you should use WD-40 to remove any carbon or dirt. I shouldn't have to do that because it is new, but I think I will give it a try.
 
Do you have one too?

It sounds a lot quieter than the one I had on mine '09. It was too loud and I had to take it off. I still have it and thinking about sending back in to get new baffles and a new elbow for my '14 RT. Here's what it looked like on my '09

V Twins would typically be louder.
Nature of the beast.

where did you get the pipe ext that's needed for this muffler cause in may tailgunner didn't have a pipe ext for the new spyders I have a 2011 and I have this pipe too it sounds louder than yours I am looking at a 2016 bike so I would like to get the pipe before I buy the new bike so they can transfer it over.700.00 is a lot of bucks I don't want to give it up. also plan on using a lot of wd40 the barrels get carboned up a lot I've had mine for a little over a year now also the three screws that are on the barrels will come loose so check them often after long rides I've had to replace the nuts twice.i see you chose the chrome barrels I was going to do that but tailgunner guy said i'd be better with brown barrels due to carbon build up so I agreed.

I got the ACE pipe ext from Tailgunner. Thank you for the tips on the nuts.

Charlie from Tailgunner didn't tell me about the barrel color...but I wanted chrome color because I have a lot
of chrome on my RT.

Cool photo. I think mine is louder in real life than on the video.

Go Air Force! I retired in 2008.
